the guy made one mistake, get off his back.

"anti-lebron for life"? dangoutsul are you kidding me? youve never made a dumb mistake in your life out of frustration? should everybody in the world hate you?

obviously im not defending him as i acknowledged that it was a mistake on his part, im not even that big of a lebron fan, but people are making way too big of a deal. he's 24, it's a learning curve, i really hope that people dont start hating him just for this one moment. one moment doesn't define a person. the years and years of the good reputation that he has worked towards defines him.

I am so god damn sick of hearing about lebron james. He has gotta be the most overhyped player in the history of sports. Yes, the man is a great basketball player and there is no denying that. But I cant stand how the media and people in general get so fixated on certain players.

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

If any of you guys played competitive sports
and were good, you would understand winning was important,
doing your best was important, losing and not doing your
best sucks, and the last thing you want to do is shake
hands and pretend, that's right, pretend, everything is cool
and rosey. That's bullshit. In that situation you want to
scream and just be left alone. I don't care who it is---it goes
for any athlete who tries their best and in the moment feels
defeated.

The media has overblown this so out of proportion, and so have you guys. Been in the league five or six years, this is his biggest mistake?? Boo hoo. He didn't shake hands, who cares? He's frustrated and sick of losing, was it unsportsmanlike, yes. Give him a pass, five years, one small mistake. That's a pretty go % in my opinion.

yeah but if you lose you accept defeat and respect the guys who beat you because in the long run, they're making you better, they're the reason youre coming back next year. it doesnt make you any less of a winner or any less of a competitor.

theres a certain level of respect that your opponent has earned. "fuck it" doesn't work. if you have any respect for yourself, youd shake the opponents hand after you lose. you learn more about others and more about yourself in defeat than in victory... im not trying to overhype this whole thing, lebron made a mistake, it's silly to drag it out this much... but it i'm just giving you my opinion on why respect should be given at the end of a game

didn't catch as much flak but a member of the wizards called in to espn and said he believed james didn't shake hands after the previous season's finale either.

The pretend shake hands, I can understand. The not talking to the media after the game is a giant ploy from Lebron's agent?

We can still talk about Lebron ALL DAY LONG, even though we should be talkin Lakers- Magic

Yes he made a mistake by not shaking hands with orlando players...but we all.
Its take a MAN to acknowledge defeat after working hard to be the best...but look no futher than JIM KELLY AND JOHN ELWAY.

idk where you conjured that up but it sounds pretty dumb. where I come from, we have something called class... idk maybe basketball is just different than football in that respect.


but in any event... I think this has definetly been blown out of proportion. people will forget about it soon enough...
